Those in search of a film about gay men disillusioned in Hollywood with a better script and more dramatic heft should rent Gods And Monsters or Thom Fitzgerald's Beefcake.
Susan Walker, Toronto Star
Fresh
More tasteful, sensitive and original than you might imagine.
Michael O'Sullivan, Washington Post

Glatzer and Wash try to explore the nature of obsession and the ambiguity of sexual categories in The Fluffer, but it's hard to give two hoots about any of these characters.

A witty, sad, informed view of obsession, submission and the sex industry.
